My Local RBL

I've recently moved and signed up for an RBL membership.
During the application the closest branch to me was Leigh in Greater Manchester.
However, i can find absolutely no trace of them. No address, no legion club, nothing.

If I'm the sole member of the legion in my area, which I doubt, then I might cancel the membership. I'm not having a schizophrenic AGM with myself.

Ours went as did the ex servicemans next door, it survived for a while as a room on some weeknights in a local pub but eventually moved into an industrial unit on the outside of town. I suspect the local taxi drivers know it well.

So long and thanks for all the laughs

Most of the RBL clubs that survive do so by the skin of their teeth. That fees problem that originated in Haige House caused major problems. An awful lot of the clubs voted by their feet and left the Legion. The clubs are still there, their just not Legion clubs anymore. There used to be a club at Beecles but that's a social club now.
There is one club I know of that's a strong Legion club and has quite a few vet's drinking there. Felixstowe, I can highly recommend the place. Normally have a couple of guest real ales, entertainment etc.
